Catskill Photo Quiz (contains large inline photos)

[Tom Rankin]

Remember, we've done the Hundred Highest!

Actually, most of these are not HH, just C35, so here goes. Numbers precede the photos. They (IMHO) start out easy and get harder.

RULES: One guess per person per day!

3.

I have never hiked in the Cats so I do not have any guesses

Yes, most of the Catskill hikers have migrated to the Catskill sections of the ADKHighPeaks.com forums. That has offloaded most of the Catskill discussion to that other site, freeing up some bandwidth and disk space on VFTT. But as our New England cousins occasionally hike in the Catskills, Tom was correct to post this thread on both sites to give everyone an opportunity to participate.

Not very good at these, but I'll join the party Tom:
1. From summit of Wittenberg
4. From Westkill firetower
10. I KNOW I KNOW! It's Tom by a cannister!
The rest I have no clue!

1 is correct.
4 is not Westkill, it does not have a tower.
10 - Congratulations! Now which canister?

#3 is the Spooky Forest below WHP.

That is correct!

 

[RoySwkr]

#9 is Tremper leanto (well sorry, somebody already picked #4 which I knew for sure

 

[the_swede]

#10 looks like it could be BC or maybe even Doubletop. I think Doubletop though, since I remember the slope adjacent to the canister (to the right, in this picture).

No, it's not, sorry.

Swede - DT it is!
